This will be my first time on JMT, first time to fly to a hiking - TopicsExpress



          

This will be my first time on JMT, first time to fly to a hiking destination, and first time to use mail drops for resupplies. I have a few remaining questions I would greatly appreciate help with. These questions may seem silly to those of you who do this every year, but it is specifically your advise I seek. 1. I cannot get my 16lb. base weight backpack down to legal carry on size limits, (even mailing my bear canister, pocket rocket, food, knife, etc...to the Yosemite Post office) and I am nervous about checked luggage arriving with me after 3 plane changes on the way from the East Coast to Mammoth. How do people deal with this issue? 2. Can you send a 5gal. bucket to Yosemite Post Office? 3. How reliable are these mail drops especially if I have to pack a bucket to YV P.O. with expensive, can’t do the hike without it type equipment, and won’t know status of the bucket until the day I am to pick up permit? 4. Does TM, RM, & VVR stock tortillas, peta, bagels or some kind of carb. to smear PB on? Jim
